About Barbara-Anne
Barbara-Anne Hutchinson is the founder of Bhoga Yoga. She has been teaching Alignment-based yoga since 2005. She came to yoga while building a 30 year career in the film and television industry. It was the daily grind of this lifestyle that led her on a quest for an activity that would create balance between the constant stressors so inherent in this field of work and raising a family. It was her yoga practice that convinced her that everyone could find peace, balance and health, all we had to do is to tap into the wisdom of the body.This conviction and her profound interest in the human condition is at the core of her passion for yoga as a therapy. To this end, she embarked on a journey to learn how to help the body heal with the use of yoga and body work.
